Starting from Scratch 59

We’ll assume that by now, you’ve worked through the Wizard-based

examples in the preceding chapters and have a preliminary knowledge

of WebPlus tools and techniques—although probably not too much

hands-on experience. You’ve seen that there are lots of ways to

customize the Wizard-based publications, and that approach may suit

your needs perfectly.

But don’t forget that besides offering a variety of Web Wizards,

WebPlus gives you the option of starting from scratch and composing

each page just as you want it. You may decide to take a hybrid

approach: study the Wizard layouts, learn from them, and then apply

what you’ve learned to a brand-new site of your own design.

If you’d like to start from scratch, here are the steps:

Y From the Startup Wizard, select the 6WDUWIURP6FUDWFK option.

From within the program, choose 1HZ from the File menu or

click the

1HZ button on the top toolbar. The new publication

will open with a blank page, and you’ll see the Page Setup dialog.

Y Select a page size (either Standard or Wide), or define a custom

size by entering new values for Width and/or Height. Then click

Obviously, there’s no single formula for coming up with a successful

Web site. It may help to have a plan of attack, however, so the

following sections provide a brief outline of the process, along with

some suggestions to guide your efforts.

Step 1: Design

It probably goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that before

starting a site from scratch, you should have mapped out on paper

exactly how many pages you’ll need, what the basic composition will

look like, and how the pages will be linked together.

Unlike a magazine or newsletter, a Web site doesn’t depend on a linear

page sequence. It makes more sense to think of your site in spatial

terms, like a house that people will explore. You can generally assume

that visitors will come in through the front door (the Home page)—but

where they go after that depends on the links you’ve provided. These

are the corridors that connect the various rooms (sections) of the site.

Each room might have a few side doors, but don’t let the visitors get

lost! Graphic aids like a navigation bar, or clear labeling and/or color-

coding for the various sections of the site, can help immeasurably, but

only if you include them in your design scheme.
